A Day in the Life of Abby Brown

I, Abby Ann Brown, was born to two loving parents, Beth and Kin Brown., on July 13th 1994. My blissful and uneventful childhood was filled with love, laughter, and achievement. My parents constantly showered me with blessings and nothing short of unconditonal love. However, from a young age I was taught that no less than my best was acceptable in any situation. This notion led me to excel in both school and my early found hobby, horse back riding.

My late childhood and teenage years were quickly filled with schoolwork and horseback riding competitions. Some of my best memories were made while competing with my close friends every weekend in various completion venues across Georgia. However, soon my focus would shift. The pressure to excel in both walks, riding and school, became too daunting so I made the decision to decrease my involvement in the horse area and refocus my attention to my school work. In high school I joined a different and less rigorous horseback riding association and began pouring myself into my schoolwork. Throughout high school I kept a an all A record while getting involved in a community service project that promoted raising literacy rates in a local low-income neighborhood. These children in this neighborhood became the light of my life. Despite their circumstances they still looked to excel as much as I did. Form then on it became my own mission to do everything in my power to give these equally deserving children a chance to make their own way in life.

This work helped me arrive at my decision to become a doctor. After my work with the children I discovered that I wanted to spend everyday of life helping others and improving the quality of their life; whether it was simply giving them a shot or performing a life saving surgery. This decision landed me at the University of Georgia where the rest of my history is unwritten.
